How do you even come back from something like this. All of these buildings probably need to be demolished and rebuilt right?

Yeah, relocation is the only solution as of now because electricity and running clean water are most likely gone as well.

The high number of deaths is related to the construction methods of buildings in their region. I do believe there is zero emphasis to build for resistance.

And what about search and rescue attempts? All those buildings are likely death traps for first responders. No words for how horrible this is.

Its pretty cold in that region and will get colder over the next few days. Its almost certain that many trapped people are losing their lives to hyperthermia.

Rebuild with better building codes. It will be more expensive, but that city was located where it was for a reason. It will get rebuilt.
